Questions

3) Why is the classical tournaments 20 + 10? Why not 30 + 0?
4) Why is there no option for 20 + 10 or 15 + 15 in the lobby? (There is only 30 + 0, 30 + 20)

1- Classical matches on Lichess are 20 minutes or longer (depending on if you have increment or not). If every match is 20 minutes, you'd only get 3 games per tournament, which is not enough for an hourly tournament.

2- It could because Ultrabullet is lacking a Yearly tournament, and Classical is lacking an Hourly tournament, but then again 3-Check is lacking a Monthly tournament.

3- I guess an increment was a better idea for a Classical tournament than 30+0 in Lichess's eyes.

4- You are looking at the Quick Pairing section, go to Create Game and you can make more custom games.

Hello , after 40 moves in Lichess, can the system with 30 minutes add-on come? Very Slow classic variant !! :)
@ryanjam

1 - The hourly rapid tournaments are more than an hour. An hourly ultrabullet or hyperbullet tournament lasts 30 minutes. An hourly tournament doesn't have to be one hour.

(Sorry, I forgot to say this in #8, and editing doesn't work)

4 - For quick pairing, you get paired quicker. Very few players accept very quick or slow pairings.

1- Then there might not be a daily Classical tournament because there is a daily Classical Swiss from the Lichess Swiss team, usually 30+0.

4- Quick Pairing still puts a new game tab in the Lobby section, but I believe it pairs you up faster since Lichess detects if both of you have a similar rating, time control and are both using Quick Pair. Very few people accept very quick or slow games because Ultrabullet and Classical are played way less than Blitz or Rapid.
